Notice of Realty Action; NonCompetitive Sale of Public Land; 

Grand County, UT 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of realty action. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has examined and 

determined that 50 acres of public land 

(2 parcels) located in Grand County, 

Utah are suitable for disposal by direct 

(non-competitive) sale to the Palladium 

Foundation LLC, the adjacent 

landowner, at no less than the appraised 

fair market value, pursuant to Sections 

203 and 209 of the Federal Land Policy 

and Management Act of 1976, as 

amended. The parcels are isolated from 

other public lands by adjacent private 

land and topography and are difficult to 

manage as part of the public lands. It 

has been determined that resource 

values will not be affected by the 

disposal of the two parcels as mitigated 

in the patent. The non-competitive sale 

is justified by lack of physical access to 

the lands by anyone other than the 

adjacent landowner. Disposal of the 

parcels will resolve historic use of the 

lands for livestock grazing and hay 

production which have been authorized 

by BLM under land use permit UTU–

64085 since 1989. The permit will be 

terminated at the time of sale. 

DATES: Interested parties may submit 

comments to the BLM Moab Field Office 

Manager, at the address below. 

Comments must be received no later 

than June 4, 2007. Only written 

comments will be accepted. 

ADDRESSES: Address all written 

comments concerning this notice to the 

BLM Moab Field Manager, 82 East 

Dogwood Avenue, Moab, Utah 84532. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary von Koch, Realty Specialist, at the 

above address or at (435) 259–2128. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following described lands in Grand 

County, Utah have been determined to 

be suitable for sale. The lands will be 

sold at no less than the fair market value 

established by appraisal at $50,000 by a 

certified appraiser. 

Salt Lake Meridian, Utah 

T. 21 S., R. 24 E., 

Sec. 27, E1⁄2NW1⁄4SE1⁄4, and 

NE1⁄4SW1⁄4SE1⁄4; 

Sec. 34, NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4NE1⁄4; 

sec. 35, NE1⁄4NW1⁄4NW1⁄4, 

N1⁄2NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NW1⁄4, and 

SE1⁄4NW1⁄4NW1⁄4NW1⁄4. 

The areas described contain 50 acres, more 

or less, in Grand County. 

The sale meets the disposal criteria in 

Section 203 (a)(1) of FLPMA and 43 CFR 

2710.0–3 (a)(3) because the location and 

topography of the parcels make them 

difficult and uneconomic to manage as 

part of the public lands and they are not 

suitable for management by another 

Federal department or agency. The sale 

meets the criteria for direct sale under 

43 CFR 2711.3–3 (a)(3, 4, and 5) based 

on the fact that the public lands have 

been an integral part of agricultural use 

on the adjoining private land since the 

1980s, they are isolated from other 

public lands by surrounding private 

ownership and topography, and the sale 

to the adjacent private owner would 

resolve a long-term occupancy of the 

public lands. The parcels were 

identified for disposal in the March 10, 

1995, amendment to the BLM Grand 

Resource Area Resource Management 

Plan approved in July 1985, and 

therefore meet the disposal qualification 

of the Federal Land Transaction 

Facilitation Act of July 25, 2000 

(FLTFA) (43 U.S.C. 2304). Proceeds 

from the sale will be deposited in the 

Federal Land Disposal Account for Utah 

pursuant to FLTFA. 

The land will not be offered for sale 

until at least 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. This land is being offered as a 

direct non-competitive sale to the 

adjacent landowner. The parcels are not 

required for any Federal purpose or 

program. Sale of the parcels is 

consistent with current BLM land use 

planning and would be in the public 

interest. 

The terms and conditions applicable 

to the sale are: 

1. All valid existing rights of record, 

including those documented on the 

official public land records at the time 

of sale. 

2. A reservation to the United States 

for rights-of-way for ditches or canals 

under the Act of August 20, 1890 (26 

Stat. 391; 43 U.S.C. 945).

No warranty of any kind, express or 

implied, is given by the United States as 

to the title, physical condition or 

potential uses of the parcels of land 

proposed for sale, and the conveyance 

of any such parcels will not be on a 

contingency basis. It is the buyer’s 

responsibility to be aware of all 

applicable local government policies 

and regulations that would affect the 

subject lands. It is also the buyer’s 

responsibility to be aware of existing or 

prospective uses of nearby properties. 

Any land lacking access from a public 

road or highway will be conveyed as 

such, and future access acquisition will 

be the responsibility of the buyer. 

The mineral interests have been 

determined to have no known mineral 

value pursuant to 43 CFR 2720.2(a) and 

will be conveyed simultaneously with 

the sale of the land. Acceptance of a sale 

offer will constitute an application for 

conveyance of the mineral interests, and 

the purchaser will be required to pay a 

$50 non-refundable filing fee for 

conveyance of the mineral interests. 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, the land described 

above will be segregated from 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the general mining laws. 

The segregation will end upon issuance 

of patent or 2 years from the date of 

publication, whichever occurs first. This 

segregation supersedes segregation of 

the lands under exchange application 

UTU–80475 which will terminate on the 

subject lands upon publication of this 

Notice in the Federal Register. 

Detailed information concerning this 

land sale, including the reservations, 

sale procedures and conditions, 

appraisal, planning and environmental 

documents, and mineral report, is 

available for review at the BLM Moab 

Field Office.

do so. Any adverse comments will be 

reviewed by the BLM Utah State 

Director, who may sustain, vacate or 

modify this realty action. In the absence 

of any objections, or adverse comments, 

the proposed realty action will become 

the final determination of the 

Department of the Interior.

[MT–100–1220–AF] 

Notice of Camping Limits on Public 

Lands in Montana, South Dakota & 

North Dakota 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice consolidates and 

clarifies current stay limits on 

occupancy and/or property on public 

lands managed by the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) in Montana, North 

Dakota and South Dakota. Existing 

limits vary among field offices and 

states. This notice will establish stay 

limits on all public lands managed by 

the BLM as required by 43 CFR 8365 1–

2. The proposed stay limits are 

necessary to protect the natural 

resources, provide public health, and to 

provide orderly, equal and consistent 

use for the public. These proposed stay 

limits will supersede all existing 

camping stay limits for BLM 

administered public lands in Montana, 

North Dakota & South Dakota published 

previously. 

DATES: You should submit your 

comments within 30 days from the date 

of publication. In developing final rules, 

BLM may not consider comments 

postmarked or received in person or by 

electronic mail after this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may mail or deliver 

comments on the proposed Notice to 

Bart Fitzgerald, Special Agent in Charge, 

Bureau of Land Management, Montana 

State Office, and 5001 Southgate Drive, 

Billings MT 59101. You may also 

comment by internet e-mail at the 

following address:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Public Comment Procedures 

Your comments on the proposed 

notice should be specific, should be 

confined to issues pertinent to the 

proposed supplementary rules, and 

should explain the reason for any 

recommended change or deviation from 

this proposal. Where possible, your 

comments should reference the specific 

section or paragraph of the proposal that 

you are addressing. BLM may not 

necessarily consider or include in the 

Administrative Record for the final 

comments that BLM receives after the 

close of the comment period (see DATES) 

or comments delivered to an address 

other than those listed above (see 

ADDRESSES). 

The BLM will make your comments, 

including your name and address, 

available for public review at the 

Montana State Office address listed in 

ADDRESSES above during regular 

business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, accept Federal 

holidays). Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address, 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

The notice will apply to the public 

lands within the States of Montana, 

North Dakota and South Dakota. The 

significant change would be a limit of 

14 days within a 30 day period as 

opposed to the existing 28 day period. 

This reflects recent changes made by 

other land management agencies and 

prevents 2 parties from occupying the 

same site indefinitely by simply moving 

every 14 days. 

The proposed camping limits are 

being established in order to protect 

natural resources on public lands and 

provide fair and consistent use for all 

public land users. The action will 

prevent situations where users on 

public land occupy a site for long 

periods of time. Long tenure 

occupancies can result in negative 

impacts to the surrounding area such as: 

vegetation damage, erosion, and 

sanitation problems. Long tenure 

occupancies prevent other public land 

users from using popular sites and can 

promote abandonment of personal 

property. BLM’s objective is to provide 

a quality recreation experience for all 

users with minimal conflict, to maintain
